Prepare to hear a lot more about Canadian model Danielle Knudson. Having joined an elite group of models including Claudia Schiffer and Adriana Lima in fronting a GUESS campaign (plus let’s not forget about Justin Bieber tweeting about how stunning she is!) she’s about to hit the big time. Here Danielle talks about being discovered, her happy place and what’s left on her model wishlist…

Being discovered…

I was discovered at 8 years of age and I remember the day perfectly. I was at a silent auction and Kelly from Mode Models approached me and asked where my mum was. Once she came over Kelly told her I should look into modelling.

Being a GUESS girl…

I still can’t even believe it! It’s such an honour! I grew up with the GUESS, always loving their iconic and timeless aesthetic. To be a GUESS girl is a dream come true.

On shooting GUESS’ spring/summer 2014 campaign…

What I enjoyed most about the experience was the people I met and got to work with. Everyone involved with GUESS is amazing! Photographer Yu Tsai, shot the campaign and he is someone I had always wanted to work with. His energy and direction was amazing and inspiring.

The best and worst parts of modelling…

The best part of being model is getting to see the world and meet and work with so many amazing people in different countries. The worst part is that it gets lonely at times constantly being away from friends and family.

The biggest misconception about being a model…

The assumption that models don’t eat! We do eat! I definitely do, and anyone who knows me knows I love sweets, French fries, pizza, wings… in moderation of course.

Most unexpected place she’s seen a photo of herself…

I saw a photo of myself on a shirt – a fan made t-shirts with my photo on it!

My beauty routine…

My beauty routine is pretty simple. I love a tinted moisturiser and mascara.

The best fashion tip I’ve picked up…

Don’t be afraid of colour.

My happy place…

When I’m with my family and friends.

Three items in my wardrobe that I can’t live without…

My GUESS Power Curvy Mid Rise Silicone Rinse Black Jeans, my leather jacket and a basic tee.

What I do in my downtime…

I’m usually travelling to visit my family and friends.

My dream jobs…

Another GUESS campaign, to feature in Sports Illustrated and like any girl… Victoria’s Secret.
